Profile I am an undergraduate student at McEwen School of Architecture, currently in the process of developing a sense of self and a philosophy in the architectural and design world. I am a charismatic and social presence, technically capable, resolute, proactive, and have a desire to continuously learn more. Since becoming an architecture student, I have worked on graphic, theoretical, and built projects within Sudbury ON, Sault Ste. Marie ON, and DinkelsbĂźhl Germany; all while teaching myself programs such as Photoshop, After Effects, Rhino, VRay and many more. With a growing passion for architecture and the wide spectrum of design it covers, I aim to design projects that involve and move people, with a synthesis of functionality and beauty.

As an introductory project to the world of digital fabrication and design, the installation aims to explore the tessellation of both ready made and digitally fabricated materials. Trying to optimize the use of the technologies at our disposal, a simple pentagon was cut as the framework for thin pieces of yarn to be tessellated. By repeating simple patterns and layering them a top one another, we were able to create an ensemble of 12 different string designs. Adding yet another layer on top of that, the pentagons were assembled together to create dodecahedrons. After completing the assembly, the final forms would be installed using only two strings; each to be placed at opposite ends. This would allow for a increased level of interaction as those seated within the bay would be able to spin each one individually, and have them soothingly rotate within the space. Only using recycled 3mm birch wood, the project efficiently organizes and produces the assembly of 6 dodecahedrons to be installed within a bay window located within the school of architecture.

Theoretically located in Manhattan’s lower east side, The project was a design based competition for a mid-rise that would contain the mixed use of affordable housing, a new home for the historic Essex street market, and a NYC outpost for the Andy Warhol Museum. What emerged from the project was a unique urban landscape that cascaded within the dense streets of New York City. This open habitat strives to celebrate as well as innovate the use of timber building technologies, with the concurrent theme in the construction modes of the building being CLT. Pushing the virtue of CLT to their limit, the majority of the structure is made possible with the use of 8 story CLT walls, and HSK timber systems. The overall layout of the programed space then ends up being; a central courtyard connecting to the soon to be developed Lowline and existing subway; the farmers market with connections to the main floor and the courtyard; the residence surrounding that on all sides but the south while the western portion cascades; and the museum is encased under that.

CONCRETE ELEVATOR SHAFT
Within the canyon portion of the residence, the construction of the CLT utilizes the vertical strength but as well the shear strength. Using an HSK timber system, a timber connection based on thin perforated metal sheets connecting large pieces of CLT, the canyon portion is made. The HSK system works together with the reciprocal timber trusses of the museum; this ultimately allows for the loads to be carried down from the top floors, through the vertical CLT panels, and all the way to the ground. The rest of the structure is built with 8 story CLT walls. They are assembled vertically to maximize structural efficiency. Utilizing CLT and metal bracing in between the walls allows for the resistance against shear loads, while simultaneously creating the floors and ceilings of the structure.

Powassan Library

As an individual design assignment, students were introduced to Powassan library. Located some twenty minutes from North Bay, the library was looking for design proposal for the improvement of the already existing space. One of the first moves made for the space is the simple addition to the front. By moving the front nonstructural wall nine feet forward, an abundant amount of space is made available that will be used for a compact and efficient computer space. This also allows for a more pleasant entry way into the building, space to move the used books upstairs, while still having the front desk be the first contact as one enters. Two other additions are added onto the structure with a twelve foot dormer at the north western corner and a combination of under and bench pinning in the basement.

The goal of the project was to create a structure to go along with a new pool, in the vast but empty backyard of the client and their family of 4. Although still in the early stages of its development, the project aims to harmonize a solarium with the backyard space. Starting from where the new connects with the old, the passageway to the solarium connects to a predetermined location on the building. As one walks through the space, they are enclosed by gardens on both sides, making the passageway more than just a necessary and instead a functioning piece of the project. Cladding on the sides of the walls also begins to take decreasing amounts of surface area to signify a transition from the closed and confined house to the open and clear solarium. The solarium in itself is but a simple construct on its own. A series of nine 8’x8’ post hold up the alluring and intricate trusses that will repeatedly be put into focus by the light shining through the space. The space is also separated into two parts; an interior space for the entire family and a few friends to lounge comfortably, and an exterior space still covered by the roof acting as a canopy.

The design of the project aims to service two different spaces and atmospheres at once. A screen wall, located within a newly developed sensory deprivation spa, separates the lounge and lobby area from the hallway that leads towards the individual float pod rooms. Within the lobby space, the perforated screen blends in with the white walls, creating a simple yet alluring pattern for all who enter to see. On the other side however, a completely different atmosphere is created. The lights within the hallway are dimmed, reflecting the soon to be experienced darkness within the float pods. The holes within the screen wall then allow light to penetrate into the dim lit space, and with two layers of the screen being offset, at different points in the hallway, different amounts of light penetrating the wall to give the wall an animated look. A grasshopper definition was used to accurately place the circles on a hexagonal grid, limit their sizes, and set the spacing to create an almost seamless wall, even though it is comprised of five 4x8 panels.
